Glowing jar project - varázslat a lakásban (EN/HU) Re-purposing: Tshirts into 5-strand-braided-headbands. I was walking through Target a few weeks ago and noticed this little knit fabric headband that was not just braided together…….but woven.
I decided they were charging way too much for something that could be made with t-shirt scraps. And that means free. So there you have it. A nice and easy project to give my bad-hair-day head some love. (Or you may need one for working out. I kinda love it on my little girl . She always has little hair fly-aways that get into her face…….and this helps with that problem. It even works great with her hair down…..and keeps that hair tucked behind her ears. And yep, good for me too. Thanks little t-shirt scraps. Want to make your own? First, find some old t-shirts. Then, cut your fabric into long strips. Next, stack your 5 strips on top of each other and sew together at one end. Now, pull on each strip of fabric so that they kind of curl on the edges.
Happy Hippity Hop! We're taking a long weekend off here for the Easter break (we're working on a new website with hopes of getting a bit more done with the extra day tucked in there).
So we're bidding you farewell early with a few links and this cute little picture tutorial (see more below) sent to our e-mail from the folks at Present&Correct. Happy wishes for your Easter and Passover break. Dreamcatchers. I have been waiting to do this post for a while.
Handmade dreamcatchers made with vintage doilies. I saw something similar to this on freepeople.com only they cost upwards of $100.00. I am always inspired to create when the alternative is spending lots of money. So here we go! First there are a few materials you will need to complete this project. 1. Large Reeves Pheasant Feathers Small Reeves Pheasant Feathers Macaw Feathers 2. 3. 4. lace and ribbon anything you want to use to hang from the sides of the dream catcher. 5. 6. 7. 8. Excuse the quality of the photos for the directions. Once you have completely wound the sticks in yarn tie in the end and you can move on to the next step. Place the vintage doily in the center of your ring. Once you finish tie off the hemp string. Tie beads to the bottom of the lace and twine and attach feathers. Here is the finished product.
